A Five Senses Mini-Book

This is my first homemade mini-book! If you want to use it you can just CLICK HERE to download it for yourself! Younger kids can just write in "smelling", etc, but older kids can make complete sentences such as "My nose is for smelling. My favorite things to smell are flowers and pizza." Cut the rectangles out and staple on the left side to make a mini-book that can be added to a lapbook for review later!

Target Dollar Spot Comes Through Again!

If you need cheap classroom supplies for your home school, it's time to head over to Target's Dollar Spot. If you are unfamiliar, these are the bins at the front of Target when you first walk inside the door. You can find all sorts of great things for only a dollar.The items change regularly and right now school supplies are taking over!
Some things I found:
Dry erase books for learning math, letters numbers and telling time.
Markers, pencils and coloring books.
Workbooks
Easy readers on a variety of science and history topics
Flashcards of all kinds from subtraction to United States presidents
Small toys such as farm animals that are great for using as math manipulatives

Dollar items change quickly, so be sure to get there soon to find the best selection.

Free George Washington Unit Study

Here's free lapbook for George Washington. You have to scroll down, the links at the top are to sites that are not free but if you scroll down, the PDF links are there. You can save them to your computer for later use.

And the Mount Rushmore Craft:

The link in the Lapbook page didn't work so I figured I'd save you the trouble I went through!

Free links to human body projects:


A brain hat!


Human Body coloring pages from Crayola.


Digestion Chart

We are preparing for a human body unit and I'm on the hunt for lots of projects to do! Here's just a few that I've found tonight so far.

Handipoints.com

Handipoints.com is another site full of free worksheets you can print out on all sorts of topics. You can input your own words on the alphabetical order lists and there are also pre-made lists available. There's math and reading comprehension and chore charts and more. Definitely worth checking out.

The worksheets can't be saved as PDFs so you will need to print what you want when you find it. I printed some math review charts and some reading comprehension stories.

Home School Share

http://www.homeschoolshare.com/

This has been my go-to site this year for science topics. This summer we made lap books for all the animals we studied. And this was the site I used to make those lap books! There are also lots of unit studies and it's not just science. There's plenty of literature, history and geography to be found as well. I'll probably be posting some specific things I find on that site in the future but overall, I recommend the site as a spring board for finding projects and lesson plans on whatever topic you need!
